What we’ve liked about Dom as a magician is that he’s not altogether focused on doing the same sort of magic that we’ve seen time and time again. His beer-focused audition was bizarre, funny, and creative. What he’s doing for his Judge Cuts performance is equally original.
In a new sneak peek (which you can watch at The Wrap), you can see Dom use his phone in order to make Julianne Hough her drink of choice in a tequila sunrise. It’s a clever little stunt that seems to legitimately impress the judges, but it’s also one small part of the overall act. (The sneak preview in this case isn’t of the full performance.) There may be a little bit of predictive magic/mentalism in here, but there’s also comedy, sleight of hand, and also effects in order to make sure this works as well as it does. There are no cards, and no having the judges write down random things that will be guessed a little bit later on.
This is a small sample that we’re looking at here but based on this alone, we’re reasonably confident that Dom is going to find his way to the next round. It’s hard to believe anything otherwise, especially when it feels like this season is operating with a little bit of a smaller pool of magicians than we’ve seen the past couple of years. (There is an incredible close-up magician in Eric Chien still to perform in Judge Cuts.)
